A section of my website is accessible only for authenticated users. I was wondering if this pages are crawled by google, or they are kinda “hidden” to the search engine.
thanks
If they are closed to users who are not authenticated, they are of course also closed to Google. The Google bot is nothing but another client trying to access your site.
Some sites like Newspapers have content that is reserved to paying users, but they are visible in search engines. That is always a conscious act on the side of the web master to open up the site to search engine bots, even though they are not paying customers.
Search engines have no “special key” to get into the house.
